Boss Street Brass Band

Boss Street Brass Band is back at The Elephant Room on Tuesday, August 11, starting at 9 PM. If you've been around the Austin scene for a while, you've probably run into them before—they're one of the city's own, a funky, horn-driven contemporary ensemble that keeps a steady presence in the local music calendar.

Their sound is rooted in the New Orleans tradition of 'Phatt' Tuesdays, those big, brassy New Orleans nights that lean into the danceable, second-line side of the city's brass history. It's that same spirit they bring to Austin, with the horns taking center stage and the groove doing the heavy lifting. They're a contemporary band, so while the New Orleans influence is the foundation, they're not just playing old standards—they're playing their own take on that brass-band energy.

One thing that sets them apart from a lot of the acts that drift in and out of town is how consistent they are. They play the city every month on second Tuesdays, so this isn't a one-off tour date or a random booking. It's part of a regular run they've built here, and this particular Tuesday is just the next stop in that cycle. If you missed them last month, you only have to wait until the next second Tuesday to catch them again.

It all goes down at The Elephant Room on Tuesday, August 11, with the music kicking off at 9 PM. Since they're a regular fixture on second Tuesdays, this is one of those nights you can count on if you're looking for something to do on a Tuesday night in Austin.
